⚡️ JUST IN: Palm Beach County judge releases grand jury records in 2008 Jeffrey Epstein criminal case

The records contain nearly 200 pages, including the testimony of at least one girl who was molested by Epstein.

Epstein managed to evade serious charges, in part because the Palm Beach prosecutor at the time, Barry Krischer, elected to charge him with minor prostitution charges rather than bringing a felony sexual assault case.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an order to release the files by July 1 earlier this year – the records had remained sealed for 16 years.
